Former WV Doctor Pleads Guilty
WEST VIRGINIA...
A former West Virginia doctor has admitted keeping dozens of pipe bombs in his apartment.
In Cleveland federal court, 57-year-old Mark Campano of Cuyahoga Falls near Akron pleaded guilty Thursday to one count of possessing unregistered weapons.
He could get 10 years in prison but is likely to receive less under sentencing guidelines.
Campano lost a fight to prove he was mentally incompetent to stand trial.
He was injured when two explosions rocked his apartment in November. Federal agents found 37 pipe bombs and two homemade gun silencers.
Medical board records show the former anesthesiologist has practiced in Ohio and West Virginia and has a history of substance abuse.
No motive was mentioned in court. Campano's mother says he never intended to harm anyone.
